A quiet night passed.
By the next morning, as soon as Feng Wuchen woke up, he took Feng Ning with him and headed toward the main hall.
Upon arrival, he saw that Shen Hongyi and Liu Fei had already arrived.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao was sitting alone in a corner, his face filled with resentment.
"Old Luo, everyone's here, so what's the matter? Hurry up and give your orders," Shen Hongyi urged.
At that moment, the coffin lid creaked open, and the disheveled old man stretched lazily.
"Is it already morning?"
"Old man, you're deceiving me!" Ye Xiao suddenly dashed forward as soon as he saw Luo Fenggu. He gritted his teeth in anger.
"A young person should speak responsibly. How have I deceived you?" Luo Fenggu responded.
"You clearly told me that Wuchen Peak is the strongest peak of the Qingchen Sect! How could it be like this?"
"It was once, and it will be again. It's just not now. What's the problem?" Luo Fenggu replied.
Ye Xiao twitched his mouth: "And you told me that Wuchen Peak is full of beautiful women! Where are they? Where are they?"
Luo Fenggu raised his eyebrows: "You're young, and your eyes aren't working well. Count, besides me, how many people are here?"
"Five..."
"How many women are there?"
"Three..."
"See? That's already sixty percent women! Go ask other peaks, which mountain has this ratio?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned, and Ye Xiao's face turned bright red. "You... You... old bastard, you're making up excuses! You also told me that I'd be eating and drinking well once I came here!"
"Hey!"
Before Ye Xiao could finish, Luo Fenggu interrupted him.
"I didn't lie to you about that!"
With a wave of his hand, the stone table in the middle of the hall suddenly shimmered, and a table full of delicious food and wine appeared, making everyone drool.
"Eat up!"
Ye Xiao instinctively reached for the food but hesitated, pulling his hand back.
"Isn't there some trick to this?"
But without saying a word, Feng Wuchen grabbed a roasted chicken from the table and started eating.
He even tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Feng Ning.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao swallowed his saliva and couldn't hold back anymore.
"Damn it! Even if I die, I'll die full!"
With that, he started devouring the food alongside Feng Wuchen.
Everyone had not had a good meal since arriving at Wuchen Peak, and now that there was so much good food and wine, they couldn't hold back.
For a while, they ate like a whirlwind, and in just a few moments, the table was left with only scraps and leftovers.
"Are you full? If so, follow me!" Luo Fenggu said.
"Old man, what trick are you up to now?" Ye Xiao asked, looking wary.
"Heh!" Luo Fenggu sneered. "I'm not in the mood to play tricks with you. If you want to get stronger, come with me!"
Following Luo Fenggu, the group moved to the back of the hall, toward the deeper cemetery.
Looking at the countless desolate graves around, Ye Xiao's face paled again.
At the far end of the cemetery, there was a row of stone doors.
What was strange was that although the rest of Wuchen Peak was shabby, these stone doors were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, as if someone tended to them every day.
In front of the stone doors, Luo Fenggu raised his sword finger and muttered something.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the three stone doors in front of them opened, revealing pitch-black stone chambers.
"What is this…?"
"Go in!" Luo Fenggu said in a low voice.
Without hesitation, Liu Fei rushed into the first stone chamber.
"Boom!"
As soon as Liu Fei entered the stone chamber, the stone door slammed shut, sealing the room completely.
"Go in! I'll keep an eye on this little girl," Shen Hongyi said, patting Feng Ning's small head, then spoke to Feng Wuchen.
"Alright!"
Feng Wuchen also entered the second stone chamber.
Ye Xiao swallowed nervously, hesitating to take a step.
"Old man... what's inside? Don't deceive me..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish, Luo Fenggu kicked him into the third stone chamber.
"Stop talking so much!"
Once the three stone doors were completely closed, Luo Fenggu lay back against a rock nearby, closed his eyes, and rested.
"Is it too soon to put them into this illusionary world, 'Mirage'?" Shen Hongyi asked.
"Too soon? They're not ordinary people, they won't die," Luo Fenggu responded indifferently.
"As for Feng Wuchen, that's not surprising. But Liu Fei should be from the Liu family of the Great Ming, right? The Devouring Heaven Sword vein, she has good potential. But the other kid... are you sure he has the ability?"
"Yes!" Luo Fenggu opened his eyes, his tone firm.
"If it really comes to a fight, he and that Feng kid still don't know who will prevail."
"What!" Hearing this, Shen Hongyi looked at the third stone door, her face filled with shock.
---
Once the stone doors closed, Feng Wuchen clearly felt some kind of formation activate inside the chamber.
At the same time, something inside him seemed to be drained away.
After a moment, the stone chamber, which had been pitch dark, suddenly lit up.
What surprised Feng Wuchen even more was that a figure identical to him had appeared in front of him.
"Some kind of mirror formation? Interesting!"
As he spoke, Feng Wuchen started scanning his surroundings.
At that moment, he heard Luo Fenggu's voice echoing around him.
"You don't need to look around. The walls are made of Xuanlong stone, impervious to damage. The only way to leave this chamber is to defeat the figure before you!"
"Remember, the strongest enemy of a warrior is always themselves! The figure in front of you has the same strength as you now. To defeat it, you must surpass your current self!"
As soon as Luo Fenggu finished speaking, the figure opposite Feng Wuchen lunged at him!
"Good!"
Feng Wuchen didn't draw his sword but instead brought his hands together in a sword form and pointed directly at the figure's forehead.
However, the moment Feng Wuchen's finger reached its target, the figure instantly disappeared.
Without thinking, Feng Wuchen immediately drew his Sunfire Sword and stabbed it behind him.
"Clang!"
